1. Source Information and Project Description
The Granite Construction Company Hot Mix Asphalt Plant is a “stationary source” (as that term is defined
by the Clean Air Act) that consists of a hot mix asphalt (HMA) plant and an associated stone quarrying,
crushing, and screening (SQCS) facility which provides the aggregate necessary to produce HMA at the
Okanogan location. The Granite facility is located at the address listed on page 1. Granite has agreed to
locate the HMA plant within the previously disturbed portion of the site only. The approved site location
for the HMA plant is as shown in Section 2.2.
This synthetic minor source permit contains limits on emissions and operations sufficient to ensure that the
potential emissions from the HMA plant co-located with a SQCS facility remain below the major source
air permitting thresholds and to ensure that emissions would not cause or contribute to a violation of the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Project’s potential emissions will be limited to
below 100 tons per year for the NAAQS pollutants and 250 tons per year for PM (which is not a regulated
air pollutant for Title V permitting purposes) making the Project a synthetic minor source for Title V major
source thresholds in attainment areas. Table 1-1 lists the existing emission generating activities associated
with the HMA plant. The SQCS facility is subject to a separate permit issued to Granite.
